I just read this article at Newsbusters.

It talks about the silly questions asked of the Republican candidates in Thursday night’s debate:

In a debate packed with silly questions and ones matching left-wing attack points on GOP candidates, in the first “Interactive Round” of questions submitted by the public on Politico.com, a co-sponsor of the debate, Mitt Romney got the most bizarre. The Politico Executive Editor Jim VandeHei, a Washington Post political reporter before jumping to The Politico earlier this year, found this one worth posing: “Daniel Dekovnick [sp phonetic] from Walnut Creek, California wants to know, ‘What do you dislike most about America?’” Romney responded: “Gosh, I love America. I’m afraid I’m going to be at a loss for words…”

Does a presidential candidate have to dislike something about America? What are these guys smoking?

How about this one from Chris Matthews:

And finally, near the very end of the 90-minute plus session, moderator Chris Matthews seriously proposed to all ten candidates: “Would it be good for America to have Bill Clinton back living in the White House?”

What kind of question is that to be asking Republcan candidates? Why didn’t they ask the Democrat candidates if it would be better if Reagan were back in the White House? It makes as much sense.

I’m glad I didn’t bother to tune in.

As usual, we welcome the readers of our good friend the Anchoress. Make yourselves at home.

   Another inane question was when Chrissy Matthews asked Jim Gilmore if he was friends with Karl Rove and if he’d have Rove in his White House.
   HUH?
   Gilmore basically dismissed him, thankfully.

   There were other stupid questions, too–can’t remember them offhand, but they really were so absurd it was almost comical!

   Maybe I should have watched it just for the laughs at the silly questions. =))

   It wasn’t funny it was pathetic the way Chris Matthews conducted himself. That man should never be allowed to question anyone.
